Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto 209c81e464 mruby-compiler: improve node.h comments to reflect current state
replaced migration-related comments (Phase 1/2/3, Group 8-16) with
descriptive comments that explain the current structure organization.
these phase/group comments were artifacts from incremental development
and no longer serve a meaningful purpose in the production codebase.

updated comments to describe what each section contains:
- "Literal value nodes" instead of "Phase 1 Variable Node Structures"
- "Expression and operation nodes" instead of "Phase 2..."
- "Control flow and definition nodes" instead of "Phase 3..."
- removed "Group N:" prefixes and replaced with descriptive headers

mruby-compiler

This mrbgem provides the mruby compiler, which is responsible for parsing Ruby code and generating mruby bytecode.

Functionality

The mruby-compiler gem includes the following components:

  • Parser: Translates Ruby source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
  • Code Generator: Traverses the AST to produce executable mruby bytecode.
  • mrbc executable: A command-line tool for compiling .rb files into .mrb bytecode files.

Usage

The mrbc (mruby-bin-mrbc) executable will generate compiled binary from Ruby programs via this gem.

Example of using mrbc:

# Compile a Ruby script to bytecode
bin/mrbc my_script.rb

# Run the compiled script
bin/mruby my_script.mrb
